Panel | A Tale of Two Economies The explosive growth of digital technology has had an unintended impact: the splitting of “the economy” into two economies. In one, workers find good jobs in growth industries, because they add big value for their employers. They live in prosperous neighbor that offer attractive retail, strong schools and rewarding social and cultural institutions. In the other economy, workers are stuck in menial jobs that generate only small value for their employers, which keeps their wages low. They live paycheck-to-paycheck in places with poor housing, limited and costly retail and little in the way of culture. What are cities, counties and towns doing to face this challenge? What policies can help reduce the divide and re-unify the place called home?

Panel | How to Connect the Countryside In the land of the Tech Giants, high-capacity, reliable broadband connectivity is essential. But the telecommunications business model still denies a competitive level of service to most rural communities, because of their low population density. In this panel, experts describe little-known network funding strategies available to American communities and invite the audience to describe similar opportunities in other nations.

They bring jobs, economic growth, expertise and scale to communities eager for economic development. They can also create controversy over everything from gentrification and housing costs to data privacy and financial incentives.
